I'm not going to get into the underlying ethics and political implications of this. The purpose is merely to understand what's going on.
This is essential reading by Warren Meyer on how the Y2K hysteria prefigures the AGW hysteria. Read it. Understand it. Integrate it.
That is all.

Tipping the scale at 230+ (5'10) in May, 2007, at 33%+ body fat, I decided to do something about it. This blog is about that continuing journey. Having lost 60 net pounds -- on the way to 10% BF -- I'm ready to reveal my "secrets." I'm enthusiastic about helping others achieve real results. The mainstream advice is mostly wrong. One need only take a look around.

Hi. Your site is interesting reading, and makes me wish the info was available 25 years ago when my father was taken by cancer. Also, just wanted to let you know someone is out here reading your stuff
It gets kinda lonely with no comments 
Glad you are getting to reduce your meds, and I will send some healing energy your way.

Well of course as an IT guy, one should be honest and admit that one huge reason why Y2K is looked at as a non-event was the billions of dollars and countless man-hours that we spent fixing the problem. No one knows what would have happened otherwise because we didn't hide our head in the sand.
Which of course is what people are trying to so with global warming. The parallel here isn't accurate.
Well in the former case, whatever really was the extent of the problem, what went into fixing it, and how much was wasted energy will never be known completely.
All that's known for sure is that it was a man-made problem with a certain man-made solution.
That's far from being known in the latter.
